How to Always Show Notification Previews on iPhone X Lock Screen

To keep prying eyes at bay, iPhone X hides the previews of notifications on the Lock screen. You need to use Face ID to reveal those alerts. Personally, I’m fine with this privacy feature as I don’t want anyone to look into my stuff. But what if you have nothing to hide and find it inconvenient? Well, you have the option to always show notification previews on your iPhone X Lock screen.

iOS 11 allows you to customize notification previews on your iPhone X ideally. For instance, you can allow them to always show on LC or when your device is unlocked. And if you wish to keep them under the wraps, you can completely hide them.
